Those aren't the most important specs even if they sound like they are.

It’s important to those of us with aging eyes.

Higher resolution would make that worse. You want the opposite if anything.

Or just go for AR glasses and make the view as big as you want.

Why would high resolution make it worse? Just increase the screen DPI.

Anyway, the iMacs I have seen at the Apple Store has decently sized text.

> Why would high resolution make it worse?

Because the person you are replying to hasn’t learned about the existence of the resolution scaling setting yet.

Taking a higher resolution screen and setting it to low resolution because you can't see it does not have many advantages over a lower resolution screen.

Now, a control to change text size, that's actually different.

It does. Rendering at high DPI, especially for text, is amazing.

Otherwise, it would be like claiming that there was no advantage to macbooks switching to retina displays back in the first half of 2010s. The display size didn’t increase, and the rendering scale was increased to make things on screen appear the same size. You have no idea how thankful my eyes were for that DPI increase.

I (in my 40s) finally gave in and got some reading glasses. Good decision. Now everything on my screen looks crystal clear and sharp and I can make the fonts as small as I like without eye strain. They do make distance vision blurry, though, which is annoying.

That's entirely relative to the person and task, bud
